As the days slipped, Joe became more keen to be in his new school. He got up six at morning at the very first day and got ready around seven and began making his parents ready.
"Joe we got almost three hours to get there and it takes just fifteen minutes we'll go at nine ok?"Said John
"But dad I got to join and see the whole school, so it take time"
"Don't worry, you'll get enough time to do all this. Now go to your room and wait for us to call"
"Ok dad
Joe found his doll and sat with him on a chair
"Little I don't know anything about the school, Dad says its very interesting being there,but besides it's a school not a park to be play with"
"Why do you left your old school?"
"I actually didn't want to but as Grandma Hellene desided to shift, naturally I have to change my school too, But dad says it's the best he could find for me. Let's see"
"Joe it's really fantastic to be with friends, isn't it? I miss them a lot"
"Yeah me too, But I bet I can make good friends better than the old one"
The time was creeping very slowly, that Joe felt he was talking to Little for ages, but his attention was in the hall, listening to each sound and checking whether it was dad's call. What seemed one and half hour later he heard it dad's call. He bid good bye to Little and stepped down stairs, Found his parents ready. They got in to the car, it was a beautiful boxster.
The journey to the new school wasn't an eventful one. Along the way Joe watched the the buildings vanishing out of sight, after ten minutes the city burried out of view and large trees got in to and at last they reached the school.
Joe watched, there stood an old fashioned tripple decker building in a variety of coloured paint. A very large clock in the size of a chair was hanging in front of the large and top most tower in green, which was in between two small pink coloured ones. The compound wall, there was no wall at all. The trees around was so thick that it allmost looked as a wall.
"There we are, this is your new school. How is it?" Asked john with a charming smile on his face
"Dad it's.......it's like a clock tower, but I liked it"
"Come on, there is a lot to see and to be wondered for,the last year your dad brought me here."
Joe along with his parents moved to the main building and stepped inside a large room. It was The headmaster's room, a very large hexagonal room, but there was so many tables that empty space was just large enough to occupy more than five people. There was a man sitting in the square table at the centre. He was a fifteen year old,very thin bald man, his remaing hairs was tinged with white colour. He wore an oval shaped spectacles, his glasses were so thick that his eyes were enlarged twice than the real size. The man raised his head out of the paper when he realised them in the room and nodded to have a seat
"Good morning Professor Sebastian. I'm john Smith, a former student of here, this is my wife Zara and son Joe. I'd like my son to study here" Said John taking the seats
"Well Mr Smith I remember you very well. I was the arithametic teacher when you were here. Ofcourse Joe can join here. Before that I must ask you why he was not here in these years"
"Professor I was with my Grandma and done my schooling there. Now me and Grandma are shifting. I promise Sir I'll be a good student"Said Joe with an aswering skill
"Oh never mind it. Havn't your father told you anything? This school never changes its rools. You don't need to explain how you were and how you are going to be. If your father haven't told you, I suppose, he like you to know it by yourself. Anyway I can promise you one thing, you'll never feel boring here."
As the head master stopped the talking Joe nearly dropped his jaw and a lot of questions shot in to his head and he looked his father curiously, who smiled charmingly and said "Thank you Sir"
" Now you can leave and take him at four if you like otherwise we'll drop him there"Said the professor
Joe, was shocked of by the professor's behavior. It was not, what he expected. He watched his parents leaving him and the head master said
"Joe come on this is time for some personal information"
He followed the headmaster who turned to the next corridor and then to the first room in the right side. It was the teacher's room. Joe saw ten people in whatever they like clothes. As the head master entered the room, the teachers directed their eyes once at them and indulged in what they had been doing. The headmaster led him to a small table in the corner and took a big yellow coloured book. He began scanning the pages and at last he found a blank one at the very end. And he asked to Joe and he answered it was his own personal information. After completing the writing he turned his head to the teachers who just turned their head as if they were expecting it for ages and spoke
"Dear teachers this is our new student Joe Smith from today onwards he will be a member of our family and Joe this is your teachers, you'll find them teaching you in this year and in coming years. Come on I'll introduce them to you"
Joe met all the teachers, but he could rember only a few. Zyrina Blander- his class teacher, Dona Macross- the arithametic teacher, Liza Darwin- he couldn't remember the subject and a lot. After that professor Sebastian led him to the corridor and stepped upstairs, Joe followed him and entered the room right near the steps.
It was like a conference hall with a large round table of size of the class, at the centre there was a small table and a chair. He saw a number of students in common clothes of his age, sitting in the chairs around the table and talking feably. As they entered the room all of them stopped talking and watched them with a questioning face. The headmaster introduced him and left giving a wish. He took a seat near a round faced blond boy with golden brown eyes. He was taller than him. The boy was watching some thing in the table, his nose was nearly touching the table
"Hi I'm Steve Clark and you are Joe what?" Asked the boy without looking at him
"Hi I'm Joe Smith "Said Joe still sitting in his seat but trying to oversee what he was watching and wondered how he realised him beside
"Are you a Smith?" Said the boy taking his sight out of the table and watching him throughly"I know some one in Smith family.............one J....John Smith. He was my dad's best friend of here. Do you know him?"
"Yes he's my dad and.......then..your father must be James Clark!!"
"Yes. And you know what? he fancy, everyday? Talking about his old friends to me, mom and my sister Staize, but usually only us, me and mom manage it. Staize is just eight, still she hate it and runs out of the house when he starts saying"
It was the most interesting chat he ever had, within a few minutes he realised that he was not going to lose his bet with Little. The talk made him unaware of time. He nearly jumbed when he heard a music behind him and turned to see
"I'm just got in and Paul told me we got someone new in our class,hi I'm Jack Craser and you? "Said the boy raising a hand towards Joe, a thin faced boy with brown hair and black eyes, he looked pale as though he was running in the snow, he had an intellectual look
"Hi I'm Joe Smith"
"Jack, his father was my dad's bestfriend"
"Blimey! he didn't turn to here until his age of thirteen"Said Jack
"Yea I was wondering too"
"Well I was with my granma and did my schooling there. Now she wanted to shift to our house so me too chaged my school"
"Anyway how do you feel about this school? Is it funny?"Asked steve looking at the entrance of the class
"Er..... I'm not sure but........rather strange..... what are you looking for?"
"Oh me, Professor sandlots. She is supposed to be here. Its past ten."
"You idiot Steve, didn't notice me here in the class at ten, and didn't get that... how I got in the class so soon. There's a staff meeting going on
Joe helped himself not to laugh, but couldn't hold it more than a moment; he burst out and the whole class looked at him for a while and turned their heads to their previous work
"What was that for"said Steve getting of from his chair"we'll introduce you our M.M members"
"You already told him about M.M?"Asked Jack" I thought may be I'll get a chance to tell something to him. You told about every stuff?"
"You know Jack He has been talking to me for an hour"Said Joe grinning at Steve"He didn't talk too much about M.M. I just realised it's a gang,isn't it?And what the M.M stands for?"
"M.M means 'mischief makers'. Yea it's a gang but it got only 4 members, wanna join"Said Jack seaching some one in the crowd of students
"Mischief makers..............sounds good, but do you think, I mean Sir Sebastian really want me to be a part of such group at the very first day"Said Joe blankly,but he could feel his hands were sweting
"Oh don't worry Joe"Said Jack with a high pitched voice and then whispered near his ears"You know he's a big supporter of our group, he always like real mischief makers"
"Ok then come on, let's meet them"Said Joe Joining Jack and Steve
The three of them walked around the table, he met a lot of them, But wondered why Jack and Steve not mentioning the M.M members. As he met many more students, he felt that, being introdused as a teacher. At last he got all the answers for the questions shot out of his head. Jack And Steve stopped near the opening of the round table to the centre and winked to the girl and a boy sitting two chairs after them. The girl was too small to her age, with black straight hairs and blue eyes, she was quite pretty and bore a clever look. And the boy was a bit fatty and small necked. The girl was writing something in her book and at the same time giving insructions to the boy, who was reading something. The girl give out a cry as the boy spelt something wrong and began arguing
"Carry you're doing it wrong again. If you continue this. It'll be me who throwing you out of the class, Not professor sandlots"
